Pistoleer Archive

Well first off let me say my char is pretty much a mutt. BH/Pistoleer/Medic. I worked on marksmenship then got a couple lvls in the 4th tree ( forget the name atm ) and got to lvl 3 stances about a week ago. Dmg wise stopping shot is great imo. When i saw myself hitting mobs for 1300 with pistol i couldn't help but grin. However after 2 shots went off suddenly i got the message that said i could not use this attack again. I was like hrmm what the hell then i looked at my completely drained action bar lol. I am a human who still uses the default stat settings. Not crying about this but i think the cost for this move is a little much devs ? Thank god i have medic skill to heal action or i would have been dead in one hit from the mob i was attacking lol. Anyway not a rant about pistoleers on a whole but i do think the cost for this move is a bit much. I now know why some pistoleers cry a bit in pvp. Since stoppingshot is pretty much the best move a pistoleer has ( i think ) i now see why there is a bit of crying on this move. The dmg is great, but i will never use it in pvp since all it would take was a random shot to my action bar to incap me. Since two shots and my action is gone. Once again thank god i am a medic too.

Were you using a scatter pistol and composite armor? Were you also shot in the leg, and suffering from extensive action wounds?

Personally, wearing only a little padded armor and with a scout blaster, the HAM cost on stopping shot is about 37-38. That's not really that bad.

For non-BH pistoleer, fanshot tends to be more effective since it's faster. For BH pistoleers, this isn't an issue since everything shoots at 1.0 speed.
